K “It says something – profound and troubling – about the America experiment that the Empire pursues war crimes as national policy and celebrates war criminals as national heroes.”
L “That it does. It celebrates war in all its manifestations. You know what they say. If you want a state funeral in America, first be a war criminal.”
. . .
K “Miss Vicky ‘Fuck the EU’ Nuland is a vile and venal admixture of a sociopath and a psychopath who is indifferent at best whether the entire world is obliterated in a nuclear war. She is pursuing a private agenda on the public dole. For these and other compelling reasons and despite ferocious competition, she is most deserving of the inaugural and prestigious ‘John McCain – Madeline Albright Rancid Vermin Award’ for 2023.”

“Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.” John McCain
Lesley Stahl: “We have heard that a half million [Iraqi] children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?”
Madeleine Albright: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price – we think the price is worth it.”
The same venal and vile sociopath/psychopath also decreed that if women do not vote for a fellow war criminal – Hillary (“It Takes A Pillage”) Clinton – they will find a place in Hell. God willing, Ms. A. may be in a place to assay her hypothesis.
“Senator Cruz, like you, I am, and I think the administration is, very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.” Victoria “Fuck the EU” Nuland. January 26, 2023
McCain: 1999 Kennedy Profile in Cowardice Award winner
Albright: 2012 Presidential Medal of Bondage winner

“To the 2023 graduating class of the College On War And Violence – and the home of the “Fightin’ Fighters” – I remind you of one of the central truths of life in America. If you want a state funeral in America, first be a war criminal. Good luck on the Foreign Service Officer’s examination, your first step on the path to a state funeral. And for the one or two of you who get it and get out of line, a funeral occasioned by the state. God speed you.”
“Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.” Charlie Munger

“The envelope please. . . . This year’s Pushitzer Prize in Commentary is awarded to . . . Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and Bari Weiss . . . for their work exposing the alliance between Twitter and other Big Tech Behemoths and Big Government that coordinates efforts to suppress and censor free speech. For their exposure of 51 foreign policy types who knowingly and actively interfered in the 2020 election in support of Biden.

And being journalists.”
